Search Auto Parts Search 2005 Grand Caravan, doors won't lock/unlock Sign up here!   Email This Post Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting Mateo1041 New User Aug 18, 2011, 8:16 PM Post #1 of 3 (5046 views) 2005 Grand Caravan, doors won't lock/unlock Sign In Year of vehicle: 2005 Make of vehicle: Dodge Model of vehicle: Grand Caravan SXT Engine size (2.0/ 5.7): Unsure Mileage/Kilometers: 130,000 miles Hi all, We have a van with automatic locks, doors, and trunk. These are controlled either via the minivan itself or through a key fab (it's a key w/ buttons on) of which we have two. In short, our automatic locks no longer work and sometimes even give us grief when attempting to pull up/down manually. We've been using the minivan since late 2007 with no prior incident. A few weeks ago we noticed the driver sliding door wouldn't open with our key fab (it's a key w/ buttons on). We tried unlocking manually and couldn't even get the lock to come up. It seemed like the door was slightly open and jammed. Oddly enough, later that day, the problem somehow solved itself. Fast forward to a few days ago and the problem seems to have gotten worse. While the driver sliding door was ok, the passenger sliding door no longer unlocked (either automatically or manually by pulling the lock knob up). We ended up forcing the lock up with a pliers and now the door seems to open ok, although the lock knob has some friction to it. We also noticed we could no longer automatically lock/unlock the vehicle via either the key fab or front switches (not the knobs). The van makes the usual locking sound, but the locks never go down or actually lock. Aside from the two prior incidents, the lock knobs have seemed ok. Any ideas? Is something somehow jammed that is affecting everything else? Would it be an electrical issue that only affects automatic locking/unlocking? We've tried both key fabs and they yield consistent results.

Could be latch, linkage, actuator or wiring problems.

They ended up resetting the computer or locks and now they work fine again. But now the temp/compass display doesn't work. I'll need to visit them again I guess.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
